Alumina oxide is a material that is added to ceramics during the manufacturing process to increase their strength and durability. Steelite was the first company in the industry to use this material, making their products more resistant to chipping and breaking.
Porcelain is made from a mixture of kaolin, feldspar, and quartz, while bone china is made from a mixture of these ingredients plus bone ash. Bone china is generally more expensive and considered to be of higher quality than porcelain.
